Yearbooks Were Ordered!
We are no longer taking orders, but we did order some extra yearbooks for last-minute purchasers. When they are gone, they're gone! If you want a yearbook this year, come to the Media Center to reserve yours before they are gone.
Student EES Surveys
Summerour will be taking this survey on Thursday and Friday this week.
Parent EES Survey Open
Each year, GCPS asks our families about their child’s school as part of our commitment to improvement. This year, the school district is partnering with the Center for Educational Effectiveness to ask questions that provide feedback on nine characteristics of high-performing schools. In addition, the survey asks about two other areas associated with high-performing schools—district support for improvement and respect for diverse cultures and backgrounds.
The Parent/Family survey opened on Monday and will remain open through April 2. Please use the link or QR code found below to share your feedback. Make sure to select your preferred language on the first page (English, Spanish, Korean, Chinese, Vietnamese).
Soccer Tournament
Boys:
Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday this week at Summerour; 5 pm start times
Girls:
Sunday, 2:45; Monday at Five Forks MS, Wednesday here
Thank You!
Most athletics are done now, and many clubs are beginning to wrap up. Be sure to express your thanks to your child's coaches, teachers, sponsors, and mentors this year.
